Between Christmas and New Year’s, we spent a couple of days in a cabin near Mount Rainier. We got incredibly lucky with weather, as we were there between snow storms, and we were able to do a lot of beautiful hiking and snowshoeing. We got lucky with weather for the entire trip, but the day…

In early October, following a crazy couple of months of work, we drove to northern Montana for a few days at Glacier National Park. Glacier had been on my list for a while, and I was especially excited to be able to get out there in 2020. In a somewhat unfortunate turn of events, the…

For the 4th of July, Jason and I took a road trip to the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Despite both having spent considerable amounts of time living in the West, neither of us had ever been, and the mid-week holiday seemed like a good excuse to take a couple more days off. Approaching…

Story by Nicole We went with a group of friends to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve for the full moon in September. The sand dunes are a pretty amazing natural feature of Colorado. They are large and dramatic and surrounded by mountains. Even though Jason has a great dislike of sand, he…

Story by Nicole The last two days of our trip were very driving-heavy, but we were looking forward to spending a night camping in Zion National Park. After hours of flat desert, we began seeing the stunning white and red rocks that made Utah so appealing for outdoor recreation. We got to Zion at around…
